Our History

Tom’s Creek Missionary Baptist Church’s original emphasis was to encourage daily walk with God, family and church worship, and the Great Commission. Since its plant in 1913, the building has underwent massive change; however, its mission and vision still revolves around the Great Commission and the Great Commandment of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Below, you will find a bit of our history.

Tom’s Creek Missionary Baptist Church was planted in an old school house under the leadership of seven pastors in the Eastanollee, Mullins Ford, Lavonia, and Bowersville area. These pastors examined 76 letters presented for membership, and Tom’s Creek Missionary Baptist Church was established in October 2013. The above building was dedicated as the first church building in August, 1916.

The original building was destroyed by fire in May 1939, and a new building was dedicated as the meeting place of the Church by the end of 1939.

Due to increased growth throughout the decades, Sunday School classes were added periodically, and in 1983, a new sanctuary was necessary to accommodate the growth.

Tom’s Creek Baptist Church’s worship facility underwent necessary expansion again, and the first service was held in the new building September 3, 2006.
